the boiler.

this specification, and represent a sectional side view.

This invention relates to an improvement in boilers for culinary andsimilar purposes, the object being to prevent the contents fromoverflowing, asis frequently the case with boilers of commonconstruction; and it consists in constructing the boiler with a groovearound the vtop, with perforations from the bottom of said grooveleading into the boiler, combined with a cover, the rim of whichregisters with the perforations, as and for the purpose described.

A is the boiler, which may be of any shape, according to the use forwhich it is desired. Around the edge of the boiler is a groove, a. Thedepth is immaterial, but it should not be below the desired highestlevel for the contents of the boiler, and the outer edge dof the grooveshould be as high as the edge e of This groove extends entirely aroundthe boiler, and from the bottom of the groove perforations f, more orless in number, are made through into the boiler, these perforationsbeing above the highest level of the contents of the boiler.

The cover is constructed with a rim to en- 'ter within the boiler in theusual manner for other boilers; but in the rim several cuts orperforations, h, are made, corresponding to one or more of theperforations f in the boiler, and so that by turning the cover theseperforations f may be closed, or register with the correspondingperforations or cuts in the rim.

By this arrangement, the perforations may be closed until the contentsof the boiler have arrived to near the boiling-point, and thusfacilitate the boiling; then the cover may be turned to bring theperforations to register with those'in the rimof 'the cover that is opendirectly into the rim of the boiler.

I claim- The combination of a boiler constructed with the channel a, andperforations f, and the cover constructed with correspondingperforations or notches h, substantially as and for the purposedescribed.
